Then and Now: November

Every time a
new month rolls around, it seems like there is no possible way that another
month could have rolled around again already. But the hits just keep on coming.
So now November is over and we head once again into the holly jolly Christmas time. Since we have a holiday in November, it makes you realize how much some
things change while other things stay the same. Here are a few comparisons from
last year to this year, then and now, November style.

The Who:

Every year
Mr. Lovely’s father has a big feast at his farm. A pig is sacrificed (sorry
buddy), the wine flows freely and good times are had by all. Last year, I took
some photos but this year I slacked. However, I still managed to get photos of
my friends at the farm each year.

2010:

Maaaah

2011:

Oink

The Where:

Before or
after the November pig roast, I like to take a detour to visit the surrounding
area. Last year, I had a great time in NYC, while this year, I enjoyed the
harbors of Rhode Island (did you know that RI has roughly 400 miles of
coastline?)

2010:

Brooklyn Bridge

2011:

Old Mills in Bristol

Last year, I also took a road trip from California to Iowa, to visit a
friend of mine. I went through Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and Kansas. It
was a beautiful drive, full of snow and gorgeous landscapes. This year, the
only road trip I have taken is by foot! It’s been a few less miles, but much
harder work! (You can learn more about my road trip here: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5)

So, it seems
like November, for me, is a month where many things are pretty traditional. I
may try a new apple dish or travel to a new location, but basically there are
certain things I just can’t do without, every year! Perhaps it’s because a lot
of activities revolve around the holiday?

What were you doing last November? What was
different this year? What remains the same?

My Novembers in 2010 and 2011 have actually been pretty similar. The one major difference is that last November I ran a half-marathon in San Antonio and this year my longest run in November was 4 miles.

Last November I was dating Tom. The month started great with his birthday celebration and ended not so great when he started to travel and became a really poor communicator. Last November I emailed my current boss to set up time to talk to him about career options and he responded and said he REALLY wanted to talk to me. I came to find out that he had a position opening!

I love these recaps! So fun to see what all you have done! I think I might have started reading your blog when you were on that road trip?

Let's see...Last November, my car was leaving me stranded by the side of the road in the middle of the night. This year, I'm driving a brand new car and shocked that my registration is due for renewal already!
